well, i know kev has bascially been running the show for ages, but: * out of 9 coaches / members on the GBJW managment team, 3 are from the midlands, 4 are from the north east, one is southern, and one is north western * I coached the GBJW last year - and i'm from the north east and LLLeeds. Before me, Gemma Taylor, who was London based. Before that, Cath Moore for serveral years, who is sheffield / LLLeeds based... Last year, Di worman from Iceni aided the coaching, and there were several skills days down in London that catered for Juniors, others in the midlands, and the northeast. Last year's management also had GI and Sally Cannon on board (Sheffield and York) * On the men's side, this year london-based Voodoo was GBJ open coach, with Stato (bristol) in support. Last year, LD did it, who is london based. Before that, Stig, who was a midlander at the time... * LLLeeds have an newly elected coordintor to liaise with Uni, where many of the new juniors are found. Shef Steal have had a Junior Coordinator for a couple of years now. * Leeds Uni sent a Junior team to the recent Junior tournament... Sheffield would have excpet for last minute dropouts. * James Hall (Leeds GBJW based manager) has been doind striling work in schools already; as has Linz Wilkinson who has started a team at her school wheer she teaches; Cath Moore ran a Junior team in Sheffield, members of which have played in GBJ teams for the last few years...
there's more, i could go on, but i won't. Get the picture. People are doing great work for Juniors all over the place, and as ever rarely get any credit. I'm not detracting from Kev, who has done a fantastic job (hell, i should know, he was organising things when i was a Junior in 2003 and Stig was coaching...), but a large part of the reason the north west hosts most of the junior stuff is becasue it has the most junior teams (again, thanks Kev). There's junior teams all over the place, and Junior outdoor nationals last year was held by St Vincents College (Thundercatch) in Gosport (south coast)... I'm probably overreacting, but next time straighten your facts out before you start saying that people are being lazy... --- simon barlow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > Just seen the stirling effort being put intoJunior > Ultimate and development in the North West and > Midlands of the UK, What are you Scots, Leeds leeds > losers and London Village people doing as doesn't > look like much at the moment!!!
